Chapter 12: There is no tenderness under the crown
It was pitch black in front of me.
Fang Yu reluctantly took out the matchbox—only half of it was left—and lightly struck the match, and the faint flame illuminated a small area. He flipped over on the ground with the firelight, and couldn't help but gasp, and his whole body hurt as if it were falling apart.
The light of the fire reflected the surroundings, and the platform above was six or seven meters high below, and he saw that his magic furnace was still quietly falling on the edge of the platform, motionless. The resentful spirits above had disappeared by this time, and the previous shriek was like an illusion, only echoing in the darkness.
Fang Yu vaguely felt that his body had been strengthened, and he didn't hurt his muscles and bones when he fell from such a height, he checked it carefully, and found that he had neither a fracture nor a broken bone. This was almost unimaginable before, and the physique attribute should definitely be greatly improved.
But without a character interface, he doesn't know exactly what's going on.
Fortunately, Fang Yu is used to it, he is studying alchemy in Kapka, isn't it the same as others, and he can't add points freely. In the end, it came over like this, although the novice stage was a bit long.
He raised the fire, only to notice a blackened skeleton not far away. It was supposed to be a woman, with a slender skeleton, leaning crookedly against the wall. Its head was not on its neck, but rolled to the side.
It was a corpse that had died of starlight.
Fang Plover was a little surprised, it shouldn't be the Elector who could enter here, since the Dead Silence Zone would only take effect on the glow substance, then this skeleton could only be the aboriginal who died here because of the complete disappearance of Starlight.
Is it a Noumerin elf?
But it's not quite like it, he looked at the collection of the Craftsman Guild, the ancient Noumerin elves were tall, with an average height of two meters or more. And this skeleton is exquisite, even shorter than him.
This may be the owner of the resentful spirit. Fang Yu thought to himself, he also happened to know some strange knowledge about this kind of undead spirit—resentful spirits are a type of earthbound spirit, usually bound near the area of death, and like to lure others to repeat their experiences and step into the arms of death.
So it stumbled and died?
He looked up and saw that it was not a big problem to fall to death at this height, but it was a bit outrageous to throw his head so far. He looked at the body again, and it didn't look like he was on the ground first.
Unless it can break its neck and get up from the ground again—
This sudden strange thought made Fang Yu laugh dumbly, he felt that he was completely scaring himself, how could this be? Even if she becomes an undead, she will not be resurrected immediately, not to mention that she has already become a resentful spirit.
Then the match burned his hand, and he hurriedly shook it to extinguish it.
The darkness around him descended again, and standing in a deep place where he couldn't see his fingers, Fang Yu subconsciously went to get the second match, but his movements suddenly froze. He suddenly felt that there was something strange about the behavior of the resentful spirits, that the undead did not know what mischief was, that these distorted beings dominated by evil consciousness had an extreme hatred for the living, and that all their purpose was to create their own kind as much as possible.
Where did it go?
As he was thinking this, a strange sound suddenly came from the darkness. Click, click, like something crawling on the ground, the sound was crisp, like bones hitting the ground.
Fang Yuan's blood was coagulated.
The voice came from behind—
He lunged forward, and something grabbed at his back, where a huge cut had been made in his robe, and the back was cold, and the wound was burning with pain.
Ignoring the pain, he hurriedly struck the match, turned around, and saw a bloody mouth rushing towards him in the darkness. Of course, it might be a bit of a misappropriation to say that there is a bloody mouth - it is a giant iron mouth, and the jagged mouth is covered with metal components.
A giant construct dog, almost as tall as a man.
Fang Yu suddenly understood, what was the death method of that skeleton, it was too normal to be kissed by this thing, and it was too normal to break his neck. These 'amiable' big dogs must have been drawn by the resentful spirits, damn it!
He hurriedly rolled backwards, letting the constructed dog bite into the air.
I don't know if it's because it's been idle for too long, this old antique is a little shaky, and its movements are not as agile as he imagined. But before Fang Yu could be happy, a red light lit up in the darkness.
Seven or eight constructed dogs slowly stepped out of the darkness, clicking, the sound of their metal paws colliding with the ground.
The match in Fang Yuan's hand also continued to burn half.
He didn't hesitate, he turned around and fled, whether he could escape or not, in short, staying here would definitely be a dead end. But before Fang Yu got up and took two steps, something suddenly stumbled under his feet, and the whole person lost his center of gravity and flew out.
Let him fall hard and eat.
Fang Yu's tears almost fell out, and he couldn't help but secretly curse who is so lacking in virtue and throwing things around. He didn't care about the pain, and scrambled to get up, but suddenly noticed a faint light coming from behind him.
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head.
He saw that the thing that had tripped over him was shining in the darkness and emitting light.
It was a crown, of twenty-one stars juxtaposed with each other. The other stars are forged from Mithril, with the exception of the central one, which is made of crystal. And at this moment, it was the crystal that emitted a clear blue light.
Fang Yu was stunned when he saw the light—the blue and blue light was circulating in the darkness, as beautiful as a dream. But isn't that the exact same light on the dagger? It's just that the light is much purer.
He was still puzzled, but he was surprised to find that the constructed dogs seemed to be very photophobic, and hesitated in the distance.
Fang Yu was overjoyed when he saw this, as if the drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly got up and picked up the crown with an arrow, and lifted it up with both hands. The crown was bright, and the constructing dogs really flinched and took a step back.
There is no endless road!
Seeing this scene, Fang Yu couldn't help but let out a long breath. But then subconsciously looked at the light circulating on the crystal - it was really exactly the same as the light emitted on the dagger at that time, and there were blue light ripples in the middle of the clear blue light, which was very unique and dreamlike.
Will there be any relationship between the two?
The question had just crossed his mind when suddenly there was a loud roar in the distance, as if a constructed dog had been hit by a cannonball. Flying up and staggering past Fang Ou, crashing into the metal wall behind him.
It was only after a loud bang that bits and pieces rolled in that direction - including one of the other man's metal eyes.
Another white light streaked through the darkness, and the massive head of another constructed dog fell in response. Fang Yu realized that someone had arrived, and he looked up just in time to see the other two giant dogs falling.
Too fast, he estimated that these constructed dogs were at least creatures in the early tenths, but they were vulnerable, and the ones who came were at least above the twenties. In the fourth tier, it is also one level higher than Scarpe and Quilrod.
But Fang Yu faintly felt that it might be higher.
The constructed creatures also have basic intelligence, and when they see this scene, they understand that the enemy is invincible, and they scatter and flee. And the unknown attacker did not pursue, but slowly walked out of the darkness.
With the light on the crown, Fang Yu saw the other party's figure clearly.
Mia was dressed in a straitjacket, and the star-shaped pendant between her collarbones shone like the crown on his hand. On his flawless face, pale silver eyes reflected the light like stars, looking at him quietly.
The two slender battle blades in her hands, glowing faintly in the dark, were worn one on the left and one on the right—they were still repaired by Fang Yu himself.
She said softly, "I didn't expect you to come here. ”
"Mia, you ......"
Fang Yu had thousands of questions in his heart, and the moment he saw Miya, they all turned into ashes. His mind was a mess, as if he had been stuffed with seven or eight threads, and he didn't know what to do when he said an incoherent word.
He suddenly felt that he was really mentally retarded—
"Give it to me, Ed, it's useless to you."
Mia looked at the crown in his hand, and her voice was soft, unhurried.
Fang Yu reacted at this time, lowered his head and turned the crown in his hand for half a circle, looked at the ornament on it, and touched the turquoise crystal with his hand.
It's a masterful work of art, with silver textures carved with flowers and birds, ivy and wild roses, heather, mountains and caves, and cities, but not like the style of the elves, more like the work of the dwarves.
After a while, he looked up: "This is?" ”
"The crown of the sea forest."
Fang Yu paused for a moment, and then looked at the crown in his hand. “…… This is the Helin Crown? Isn't it missing for more than a hundred years, how could it be here? ”
"It's a long story," Miya replied, "and I can tell you what you want to hear." ”
"That's not necessary," Fang Yu shook his head, he also knew something about the story of this crown: "...... Is it important to you? ”
Mia bowed her head slightly.
Fang Yu hesitated, but handed it over. But he let go of his hand, but the crown did not leave his palm, but was suspended in the air, and suddenly it shone brightly. Fang Yu saw that a crown emblem gradually appeared on the back of his hand, and half of it had been generated in the blink of an eye.
"It's ......"
He froze suddenly, and his vision once again resurfaced from his previous vision: a dense stream of data drooped from his eyes, pages of windows opened, and the self-check was completed and then closed.
It was the complete Elector interface, and Fang Yu really saw it clearly this time.
"I ...... I can't let it go......" He was so shocked that he wanted to call Mia to help him, but before he could say anything. Miya suddenly moved, and a lunge stepped up and covered his mouth with her hand.
This was the first time Fang Yu had such close contact with the goddess in his mind, and he could almost smell the faint fragrance between the other party's fingers, like the smell of flower petals. He felt that his heart was about to stop, and he couldn't even care about the illusion in front of him, and looked at each other a little bewildered.
Miya looked at him fixedly, her eyes were as clear as lake water, and she asked thoughtlessly, "Do you still have the dagger on you?" ”
Fang Yu didn't know what this meant, the dagger had been lost in the ground. But thinking of what had happened before, he nodded. At that moment, he suddenly saw Miya bow her head slightly and whisper something.
What the? Fang Yu was stunned for a moment.
But suddenly, he felt a slight chill in his heart.
Miya covered his mouth with one hand and raised her right hand from the bottom to the top, the sharp blade piercing directly through his chest and piercing the beating heart in that position. Arterial blood splattered out and gushed down her blade, as piercing as a bright red wine.
Fang Yuan's eyes reflected the blinding red, and he looked at Miya's calm face again until both began to blur a little, but it was still a little incredulous.
"Mia, you ......"
"I'm sorry, Ed," Mia replied quietly, "but I have to get it." ”
This time he finally heard clearly, but his body also slid weakly.
The former held his body that was gradually losing temperature, let him gently lean on him, and then whispered, "Don't worry, Ed, you won't die." The dagger was a broken dragon soul carrier, and it at least had the power to revive it, even in the Dead Silence Zone. ”
"This is what I owe you, Eddard ......"
She carefully let him lie flat on the ground, Fang Yuan's eyes were already out of focus.
She also said something," ...... The crystal that made it has a lot to do with here, and I thought it would save your life when you led the Kerreta away, but I didn't expect it to be used here......"
Fang Yu couldn't hear the latter words clearly.
But he was essentially shouting in his heart - the gods of Aitaria are above, and the power of that holy crystal has already been used by him! Don't! Help me!
Miya finally let go of her hand, but the strength had long since left his body, and Fang Yu opened his mouth, only to spew out a mouthful of blood foam. In vain he tried to grab Miya's hand, trying with all his might to tell her that he could save it.
But caught a blank.
Instead, Mia took his hand and watched calmly as he gradually lost his vitality.
Fang Yuan's hand finally drooped, his consciousness was rapidly leaving his body, and the crown fell from mid-air, and when it fell to the ground with a thud, it rolled a few times, and the light on it suddenly dimmed.
Only the half of the emblem remained firmly on the back of his hand.
All sounds seemed to be far away, and in a blur, Fang Yu saw a pair of slender hands holding the crown. The quiet gaze took one last look at him, and Miya's mouth opened and closed, as if to say something to him, before turning away.
All that was left was darkness, and the coldness that grew to the bone.
It's time to leave this world.
Fang Yu thought to himself.
Before it could all go dark, something else suddenly occurred to him.
Aitalia, it seems that there is no precedent for stowaways to have accidents in the Dead Zone.
Wait a minute –
He doesn't have a glow material device, so he can't really die in this place, right?
Fang Yu suddenly thought of this creepy possibility.
……
The Stargate between Earth-Moon orbits was built in the middle of the century as a spaceport for the European Union's way to the asteroid belt, and was abandoned in the late sixties. After the signing of the Suva Declaration, the port was reopened and transformed into what it is today -
The stargate looked down on the fourth orbit, somewhat like a white ring that had been erected. But during the day, when the sun shines directly, it shines brightly against the ocean-blue background, and it looks unusually magnificent and magnificent.
And in comparison, the supply ship of the Russian Federation Union XXI is like a shining silver spot.
The spacecraft is entering the grounded orbit, just as if drunk and shaky.
In the Xinggang port area, the port staff are scolding the Mao Zi pilots for being unruly, they have already occupied three or four routes, and the daily plan is a mess. Two robotic arms are slowly approaching, trying to pull the ship back into a controllable area as it deviates from its course.
"If they do this a few more times, I think we can have a holiday again." A small clerk spoke through the glass window of the console, looking at the long line of ships moored in the port area.
"It's mainly due to the lack of manpower." Another person crackled and turned on a bunch of switches on the console, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "A107 confirmed, Port 3." ”
"Because it's been lively on the other side recently, No, I've got another return application here, and I'm still a tourist without equipment," the first person heard the buzzer and glanced back at the screen. "The Second World War has affected the First World, and this is the second group of tourists to return this month, let me see, this guy entered six months ago, hey, he stayed long enough."
He casually tapped on the touchscreen a few times.
"Speaking of which, what about your friend?"
"You mean Yellow?" The man laughed: "That guy took a private job and was locked up." He was lucky, and if it weren't for the shortage of manpower now, he might have to go to court-martial. ”
"Pick up private work?" The second person was a little incredible, as if he heard a historical term, and smacked his lips: "There are still people taking private jobs, hasn't the sightseeing channel been open for several years?" And such fools? ”
"There are always some fools." The man spread his hands helplessly.
At this time, the second person suddenly stood up and looked out the window at the port area with some disbelief. "What's the situation, a lot of people came out, and someone was wiped out? This is incredible, who sent so many people without starlight? ”
"It's a battle in the Dead Zone, right?" The first person reacted and looked over there as well.
And within the port area.
Scarpe was looking at Quelod as he walked out of the stargate with a wry smile.
"You're out too?" She asked, teasingly.
"Yes," Quelod hugged his girlfriend, with a very lonely look on his face, "What about the others?" ”
"A few little girls are crying outside, and the others aren't any better," Scarpe sighed, and the feeling of being dead was unpleasant. She shook her head, "Did you see Ed in the passageway?" ”
Quilrod paused for a moment: "Didn't he come out?" ”
He was a little surprised at first, but then he looked at his girlfriend. Both of them had a surprised smile on their faces at the same time.
"This kid."
